  Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: Dark cherries with a distinct funk and earth, like wet moss and mulch.
  
  P: Similar cherries on the palate with a damp and slightly bitter earth. Wet tree bark and something like wet forest floor.
  
  Great lift on this. It had a good amount of freshness to keep things lively.

  Coravin'ed back to back with the '17 to shee what's up, and boy what a difference. This is a long term keeper with significant upside and aging potential. Absolutely amazing nose with an entire forest worth of spices and earth but particularly good Santa Cruz whole-cluster resin notes. Finish a bit clamped down right now, but the acid and supple tannin to elevate over time. I'll check next bottle again in 4-5y

  One of the best Pinots I’ve had, period. Cherry/dark fruit earthiness is supported by very good acidity. This would outshine many 1er cru burgundies, and at a small fraction of the price. Will be buying more.

  Dag 1:
  Bringebær, grønne urter og hint av solmodne tomat på nesen. Stort anslag med moden rød frukt, frisk syre og faste men krittaktige tanniner. Lett mineralsk med godt hint av stilk og hvit pepper. Lang og god. Synes det her er dritdigg jeg. Frukten er kanskje akkurat såpass forward at jeg hadde gjettet Cali, men vinen er veldig balansert.
  
  Dag 2:
  Holder fint
  
  Dag 3:
  Fin kjerne av rød frukt, litt mørkere i frukten kanskje og litt skogbunn, fortsatt noe grønt a la bladverk eller stilk. En god del pepper. Ingen tydelige oksiderte aromaer. Dette er en god vin.
